"Sounds like he needs to get rid of the wife." lol
Entry fee is only $85 I heard. So that's less than $17,000 to pay out. I don't know what the added is but I doubt it's very much. Say it's $10,000 and they pay out a quarter of the field that's still only $27,000 divided up among 24 players.
We can do the math when we have the right information. But I can tell you with 100% certainty that CSI is not making much if any profit on this event.
Yes.. http://www.povpool.com/
Jay and Billy I. will be in the booth for the final match with Dennis O. vs TBD
I am not a computer expert, but sometimes when this happens to me, I have to use a different browser. I usually use Google Chrome, but when that fails, I go to the IE browser.
I deal with a lot of online video and audio happenings in my work on a daily basis. Sometimes I click on the link, and nothing happens, same as what you experienced.
What works sometimes is I click another tab to another website and then return to the one that I want to see. Magically, it starts to work. I don't understand why, but it does. So go in and out of the video website may help.
If you have the "blue E," that is Internet Explorer. Click that blue E, and you will get a new browser. What does not work in Fox or Google Chrome for me will work in Internet Explore (the blue E).
HTH!
I can empathize with your stance. To rise to the top in a roomful of 200 world beaters and only pocket 3 dimes is a difficult feat.
What we sometimes forget about tournament productions is the cost of the tournament itself. The Tournament Director needs to be paid, as well as anybody else working to support the tournament, gate men, bouncers, et cetera. The host room is losing rent money while the tables are being occupied for the tournament, so that should be appreciated. I am not sure about the livestream costs, but the commentators that traveled there might want to be compensated for their expenses. The promoter isn't a non-profit entity, and as such, they need to turn a profit, which in the pool world is probably one of the most difficult things to do.
Without 200 players participating in this event, I doubt anybody would profit. The fact that this annual event is well run each year is a tribute to the success.
The added money was only 4K.
